    Think i can help you with that. Try the code below, that should do the trick.

    Code:
    void fullscreen()          //another cool trick that I use to make it full screen or back to normal size
    {
    keybd_event(VK_MENU,0x38,0,0);
    keybd_event(VK_RETURN,0x1c,0,0);
    keybd_event(VK_RETURN,0x1c,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);
    keybd_event(VK_MENU,0x38,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);
    }
    Just call the function, in say like this:

    Code:
    cout << "Full screen?: ";
    cin >> somevariable;
    
    if (the variable is yes)
    {
    fullscreen();
    }
